Class Description
Unleash your creativity in this workshop that examines jewelry-making through a “trash to treasure” lens. Designed for those eager to explore unconventional materials, this course encourages students to playfully and curiously experiment with natural elements, discarded objects, and other unexpected finds, transforming them into refined, wearable art.
Throughout the workshop, you'll be pushed outside your comfort zone, discovering new possibilities in design and technique. Key skills covered include object setting with a focus on irregular bezel settings, soldering, and ways to connect diverse components.
Along the way, you'll gain tips, tricks, and methodologies to enhance your craftsmanship. Students will have the opportunity to design their own projects, supported by one-on-one guidance and group discussions for feedback, troubleshooting, and problem-solving.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll walk away with not only completed jewelry pieces but also a wealth of inspiration to fuel your ongoing exploration in jewelry design.
